Brand Sentry Investigation

Even the finest strategy for protecting your brand cannot be successful without professional investigators in the field.

Brand Sentry's international team of investigators, led by Thomas Sheer, former Assistant Deputy Director of the FBI and head of its New York office, is drawn from a highly qualified pool of veteran FBI, DEA, and Customs agents with unmatched experience in anti-counterfeiting, criminal investigations, forensics, and crime scene analysis.

All of Brand Sentry's operatives have extensive experience managing large-scale assignments and are expert in traditional, as well as IT investigative methods and techniques. They are proficient in counterfeiting terminology and investigative strategies, legislation as it pertains to counterfeiting, and the federal, state and local law enforcement agencies addressing counterfeit issues.

When confronted with evidence of counterfeiting, our investigators will:

• Conduct intellectual property criminal investigations;
• Investigate cyber crime;
• Serve cease and desist orders;
• Participate in seizures and recoveries;
• Obtain voluntary surrender of counterfeit merchandise;
• Conduct trademark investigations;
• Perform royalty compliance audits; and
• Provide investigative support for civil actions.

Brand Sentry's senior staff is on-call 24/7. Our investigators will respond to an incident or location, in person in a timely fashion.
